At least he didn’t say “I wish I WAS sorry.”

The benefits of homeschooling. Proper grammar!

Split personality?

“I wish I were sorry” vice “I wish I was sorry”.

Freudian slip?

LOL .... that's very funny around our house!

My wife and I are very confounded by the lack of the proper use or ANY use of the "subjunctive voice/mood" in most younger people's speech these days.

It barely exists any longer. Again, your comment is very funny.

Thanks for that. You made our day.

This proves he was homeschooled. Public schools no longer teach grammar.

To prevent the next Mark Anthony Conditt, we’ve got to ban the use of the subjunctive.
